Forward Looking Statements

Except for the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly Report on

Form 10-Q

may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Actual performance and results of operations may differ materially from those projected or suggested in the forward-looking statements due to certain risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, (i) the fact that the Company’s success is dependent to a significant extent upon general economic conditions in New England, (ii) the fact that the Company’s earnings depend to a great extent upon the level of net interest income (the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and the interest expense paid on deposits and other borrowings) generated by the Bank and thus the Bank’s results of operations may be adversely affected by increases or decreases in interest rates, (iii) the fact that the banking business is highly competitive and the profitability of the Company depends upon the Bank’s ability to attract loans and deposits within its market area, where the Bank competes with a variety of traditional banking and other institutions such as credit unions and finance companies, and (iv) the fact that a significant portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is comprised of commercial loans, exposing the Company to the risks inherent in loans based upon analyses of credit risk, the value of underlying collateral, including real estate, and other more intangible factors, which are considered in making commercial loans. Accordingly, the Company’s profitability may be negatively impacted by errors in risk analyses, and by loan defaults, and the ability of certain borrowers to repay such loans may be adversely affected by any downturn in general economic conditions, (v) the fact that the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation have been or may be negatively impacted by the extent and duration of the

COVID-19

pandemic. These factors, as well as general economic and market conditions, may materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of the Company’s common stock. Because of these and other factors, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance. The forward-looking statements contained herein represent the Company’s judgment as of the date of this

Form 10-Q,

and the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements.

Century Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Note 1. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Century Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Century Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”). The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. (“CSII”), Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. II (“CSII II”), Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. III (“CSII III”) and Century Financial Services Inc. (“CFSI”). CSII, CSII II, and CSII III are engaged in buying, selling and holding investment securities. CFSI has the power to engage in financial agency, securities brokerage, and investment and financial advisory services and related securities credit. The Company also owns 100% of Century Bancorp Capital Trust II (“CBCT II”). The entity is an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company provides a full range of banking services to individual, business and municipal customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank, a state chartered financial institution, is subject to supervision and regulation by applicable state and federal banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks. The Bank is also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon, and limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are affected significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board as it attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy. All aspects of the Company’s business are highly competitive. The Company faces aggressive competition from other lending institutions and from numerous other providers of financial services. The Company has 1 reportable operating segment.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s quarterly report on Form

10-Q

should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which provides a summary of the Company’s significant accounting principles. The interim results of consolidated operations are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Certain reclassifications are made to prior-year amounts whenever necessary to conform with the current-year presentation.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act allows certain companies to delay FASB ASU

2016-13,

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (CECL), including the current expected credit losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses. The Company has elected to delay FASB ASU

2016-13.

This ASU will be delayed until the earlier of the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID–19 outbreak declared by the President on March 15, 2020 terminates or December 31, 2020, with an effective retrospective implementation date of January 1, 2020.

Material estimates that are susceptible to change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on a review of factors, including historical

charge-off

rates with additional allocations based on qualitative risk factors for each category and general economic factors. While management uses available information to recognize loan losses, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. Certain risks and uncertainties remain in the allowance for loan losses as a result of the

COVID-19

pandemic that occurred during 2020. Future provision levels will be dependent upon the length of the economic disruption and the effectiveness of government programs to mitigate the economic impact. In addition, regulatory agencies periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

available-for-sale

are securities at fair value pledged for borrowing at the Federal Reserve Bank discount window $9,433,000 and $0 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. There were 0 sales of

available-for-sale

available-for-sale

securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Debt securities of U.S. Government Agency and Sponsored Enterprise Mortgage-Backed Securities primarily refer to debt securities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The following table shows the maturity distribution of the Company’s securities

available-for-sale

at September 30, 2020.

	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
	(in thousands)

Total	$	291,440	$	291,632

The weighted average remaining life of investment securities

available-for-sale

at September 30, 2020 was 4.7 years. The contractual maturities, which were used in the table above, of mortgage-backed securities, will differ from the actual maturities, due to the ability of the issuers to prepay underlying obligations. Also $236,600,000 of the securities are floating rate or adjustable rate and reprice prior to maturity.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, management concluded that the unrealized losses of its investment securities are temporary in nature since they are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers, and the Company does not intend to sell these debt securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost. In making its other-than-temporary impairment evaluation, the Company considered that the principal and interest on these securities are from issuers that are investment grade.

The unrealized loss on SBA Backed Securities, U.S. Government Agency and Sponsored Enterprise Mortgage-Backed Securities related primarily to interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Page 11 of 50

In evaluating the underlying credit quality of a security, management considers several factors such as the credit rating of the obligor and the issuer, if applicable. Internal reviews of issuer financial statements are performed as deemed necessary. In the case of privately issued mortgage-backed securities, the performance of the underlying loans is analyzed as deemed necessary to determine the estimated future cash flows of the securities. Factors considered include the level of subordination, current and estimated future default rates, current and estimated prepayment rates, estimated loss severity rates, geographic concentrations and origination dates of underlying loans.

The allocations for the provision for loan losses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the economic uncertainties associated with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID–19) pandemic and increased loan balances. During the nine months ending September 30, 2020, the Company’s provision was primarily attributable to an increase in commercial and industrial, offset, somewhat, by a decrease in commercial real estate. During the three months ending September 30, 2020, the Company’s provision was primarily attributable to an increase in commercial and industrial, offset, somewhat, by a decrease in commercial real estate, residential real estate, and municipal balances. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loans totaled approximately 1,324 loans for approximately $232 million. These types of loans are categorized as commercial and industrial and are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and require 0 allowance for loan losses.

During the nine months ending September 30, 2019, the Company’s provision was primarily attributable to an increase in municipal, commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate balances offset, somewhat, by a decrease in construction and land development balances. During the three months ending September 30, 2019, the Company’s provision was primarily attributable to an increase in municipal balances offset, somewhat, by a decrease in construction and land development balances. The Company monitors the outlook for the industries in which our borrowers operate. Healthcare and higher education are two of the primary industries. In particular the Company utilizes outlooks and forecasts from various sources. The Company also monitors the volatility of the losses within the historical data. Overall, there were improvements in historical loss rates.

The Company utilizes a six grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction, commercial, and municipal loans as follows:

Loans rated

1-3

(Pass):

Loans in this category are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 4 (Monitor):

These loans represent classified loans that management is closely monitoring for credit quality. These loans have had or may have minor credit quality deterioration as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Loans rated 5 (Substandard):

Substandard loans represent classified loans that management is closely monitoring for credit quality. These loans have had more significant credit quality deterioration as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Loans rated 6 (Doubtful):

Doubtful loans represent classified loans that management is closely monitoring for credit quality. These loans had more significant credit quality deterioration as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and full collectability is doubtful.

Impaired:

Impaired loans represent classified loans that management is closely monitoring for credit quality. A loan is classified as impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due.

Impaired loans

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the Company measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, the Company measures impairment based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans are

charged-off

when management believes that the collectability of the loan’s principal is not probable. The specific factors that management considers in making the determination that the collectability of the loan’s principal is not probable include: the delinquency status of the loan, the fair value of the collateral, if secured, and the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantors. For collateral dependent loans, the amount of the recorded investment in a loan that exceeds the fair value of the collateral is

charged-off

against the allowance for loan losses in lieu of an allocation of a specific allowance amount when such an amount has been identified definitively as uncollectible. The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans is contained within Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) are identified as modifications in which a concession was granted to a customer who was having financial difficulties. This concession may be below market rate, longer amortization/term, or a lower payment amount. The present value calculation of the modifications did not result in an increase in the allowance for these loans beyond any previously established allocations.

There was no TDR that occurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. Also, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to troubled debt restructuring borrowers. There were no troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted during the first nine months of 2020.

Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, loans less than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 will be considered current for

COVID-19

modifications. The Company can then suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to

COVID-19

that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR, and suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of

COVID-19

as being a TDR, including the requirement to determine impairment for accounting purposes.

Page 22 of 50

As of September 30, 2020, and as a result of

COVID-19

loan modifications, the Company has modifications of 33 loans aggregating $37,987,000, primarily consisting of short-term payment deferrals. Of these modifications, $37,987,000, or 100%, were performing in accordance with their modified terms.

There was no troubled debt restructuring that occurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. Also, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to troubled debt restructuring borrowers. There were no troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted during the first nine months of 2019.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB ASC

820-10,

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASU

2016-1,

“Financial Instruments-Overall”

(Subtopic 825-10)

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. ASC

820-10

establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The three broad levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The type of financial instruments included in Level I are highly liquid cash instruments with quoted prices such as

G-7

government, agency securities, listed equities and money market securities, as well as listed derivative instruments.

Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these financial instruments include cash instruments for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, derivative instruments whose fair value have been derived using a model where inputs to the model are directly observable in the market, or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, and instruments that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. Instruments which are generally included in this category are corporate bonds and loans, mortgage whole loans, municipal bonds, and OTC derivatives.

Page 25 of 50

Level III – Instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have

two-way

markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Instruments that are included in this category generally include municipal securities with no observable fair value with an average life of one year or less. The securities are carried at cost which approximates fair value. A periodic review of underlying financial statements and credit ratings is performed to assess the appropriateness of these valuations.

The results of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2020, are as follows:

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
Impaired Loans	$	828	$	—	$	—	$	828

Impaired loan balances represent those collateral dependent loans where management has estimated the credit loss by comparing the loan’s carrying value against the expected realizable fair value of the collateral. Fair value is generally determined through a review process that includes independent appraisals, discounted cash flows, or other external assessments of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not observable. The Company discounts the fair values, as appropriate, based on management’s observations of the local real estate market for loans in this category.

Appraisals, discounted cash flows and real estate tax assessments are reviewed quarterly. There is no specific policy regarding how frequently appraisals will be updated. Adjustments are made to appraisals and real estate tax assessments based on management’s estimate of changes in real estate values. All impaired loans have been reviewed during the past quarter using either a discounted cash flow analysis, appraisal of collateral or other type of real estate tax assessment. The types of adjustments that are made to specific provisions (credits) related to impaired loans recognized for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 amounted to $0 and ($9,000), respectively.

There were 0 transfers between level 1, 2 and 3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There were 0 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Note 9. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of its financial instruments. Excluded from this disclosure are all

non-financial

instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The assumptions used below are expected to approximate those that market participants would use in valuing these financial instruments.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. Such estimates do not consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In some cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about our business, its value or financial position based on the fair value information of financial instruments presented below.

Securities

Held-to-Maturity

The fair values of these securities were based on quoted market prices, where available, as provided by third-party investment portfolio pricing vendors. If quoted market prices were not available, fair values provided by the vendors were based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments in active markets and/or based on a matrix pricing methodology which employs The Bond Market Association’s standard calculations for cash flow and price/yield analysis, live benchmark bond pricing and terms/condition data available from major pricing sources. Management regards the inputs and methods used by third party pricing vendors to be “Level 2 inputs and methods” as defined in the “fair value hierarchy” provided by FASB.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated using the exit price notion consistent with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The discounted cash flow analysis was based on the contractual maturity of the loan and market indications of rates, prepayment speeds, defaults and credit risk. For certain

non-performing

assets, fair value of the underlying collateral is determined based on the estimated values of individual receipts.

Time Deposits

The fair value of time deposits was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies prevailing market interest rates for similar maturity instruments. The fair values of the Company’s time deposit liabilities do not take into consideration the value of the Company’s long-term relationships with depositors, which may have significant value.

Other Borrowed Funds

The fair value of other borrowed funds is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is estimated based on the rates currently offered for other borrowed funds of similar remaining maturities.

Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of subordinated debentures is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is estimated based on the rates currently offered for other subordinated debentures of similar remaining maturities.

The following presents (in thousands) the carrying amount, estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. Financial assets for which the fair value approximates carrying value include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, FHLBB stock and accrued interest receivable. Financial liabilities for which the fair value approximates carrying value include

non-maturity

deposits, short-term borrowings and accrued interest payable.

(1) Comprised of loans (including collateral dependent impaired loans), net of deferred loan costs and the allowance for loan losses.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the type of financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no active market exists for some of the Bank’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions and changes in the loan, debt and interest rate markets could significantly affect the estimates. Further, the income tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on the fair value estimates and have not been considered.

Note 10. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC Topic 606 is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer, and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies its performance obligations.

The Company’s performance obligations are typically satisfied as services are rendered, and our contracts do not include multiple performance obligations. Payment is generally collected at the time services are rendered, or monthly. Unsatisfied performance obligations at the report date are not material to our consolidated financial statements.

The Company pays sales commissions to its employees in accordance with certain incentive plans. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred if we do not expect to recover these costs from the terms of the contract with the customer. Sales commissions are included in compensation expense.

In certain cases, other parties are involved with providing products and services to our customers. If the Company is a principal in the transaction (providing goods or services itself), revenues are reported based on the gross consideration received from the customer and any related expenses are reported gross in noninterest expense. If the Company is an agent in the transaction (arranging for another party to provide goods or services), the Company reports its net fee or commission retained as revenue.

Page 30 of 50

Waivers and reversals are recorded as a reduction of revenue either when the revenue is recognized by the Company or at the time the waiver or reversal is earned by the customer.

A. Nature of goods and services

The vast majority of the Company’s revenue is specifically

out-of-scope

of Topic 606. For the revenue

in-scope,

the following is a description of principal activities, separated by the timing of revenue recognition, from which the Company generates its revenue from contracts with customers.

a. Revenue earned at a point in time – Examples of revenue earned at a point in time are ATM transaction fees, wire transfer fees, NSF fees, credit and debit card interchange fees and foreign exchange transaction fees. Revenue is generally derived from transactional information accumulated by our systems and is recognized as revenue immediately as the transactions occur or upon providing the service to complete the customer’s transaction. The Company is the principal in each of these contracts, with the exception of credit and debit card interchange fees, in which case we are acting as the agent and record revenue net of expenses paid to the principal.

b. Revenue earned over time – The Company earns revenue from contracts with customers in a variety of ways in which the revenue is earned over a period of time – generally monthly or quarterly. Examples of this type of revenue are deposit account service fees, lockbox fees, investment management fees, merchant referral services, and safe deposit box fees. Account service charges, management fees and referral fees are recognized on a monthly basis while any transaction based income is recorded as the activity occurs. Revenue is primarily based on the number and type of transactions or assets managed and is generally derived from transactional information accumulated by our systems. Revenue is recorded in the same period as the related transactions occur or services are rendered to the customer.

B. Disaggregation of revenue

The following table presents total revenues as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and the related amounts which are from contracts with customers within the scope of Topic 606. As illustrated here, the vast majority of our revenues are specifically excluded from the scope of Topic 606.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

Century Bancorp, Inc. (together with its bank subsidiary, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”) is a Massachusetts state-chartered bank holding company headquartered in Medford, Massachusetts. The Company is a Massachusetts corporation formed in 1972 and has one banking subsidiary (the “Bank”): Century Bank and Trust Company formed in 1969. At September 30, 2020, the Company had total assets of $6.3 billion. Currently, the Company operates 27 banking offices in 20 cities and towns in Massachusetts, ranging from Braintree in the south to Andover in the north. The Bank’s customers consist primarily of small and

medium-sized

businesses and retail customers in these communities and surrounding areas, as well as local governments and large healthcare and higher educational institutions primarily throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York.

The Company’s results of operations are largely dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans and securities and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The results of operations are also affected by the level of income and fees from loans, deposits, as well as operating expenses, the provision for loan losses, the impact of federal and state income taxes and the relative levels of interest rates and economic activity. The Company offers a wide range of services to commercial enterprises, state and local governments and agencies,

non-profit

organizations and individuals. It emphasizes service to small and medium sized businesses and retail customers in its market area. In recent years, the Company has increased business to larger institutions, specifically, healthcare and higher education. The Company makes commercial loans, real estate and construction loans and consumerloans, and accepts savings, time, and demand deposits. In addition, the Company offers its corporate and institutional customers

Page 33 of 50

automated lock box collection services, cash management services and account reconciliation services, and actively promotes the marketing of these services to the municipal market. Also, the Company provides full-service securities brokerage services through a program called Investment Services at Century Bank, which is supported by LPL Financial, a third party full-service securities brokerage business.

The Company has municipal cash management client engagements in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island composed of approximately 302 government entities.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was $30,609,000 or $5.50 per Class A share diluted, an increase of 5.7% compared to net income of $28,967,000, or $5.20 per Class A share diluted, for the same period a year ago.

Earnings per share (EPS) for each class of stock and time period is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019
Basic EPS – Class A common	$	2.36	$	2.19
Basic EPS – Class B common	$	1.18	$	1.09
Diluted EPS – Class A common	$	1.96	$	1.81
Diluted EPS – Class B common	$	1.18	$	1.09
	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019
Basic EPS – Class A common	$	6.64	$	6.30
Basic EPS – Class B common	$	3.32	$	3.15
Diluted EPS – Class A common	$	5.50	$	5.20
Diluted EPS – Class B common	$	3.32	$	3.15

Net interest income totaled $78,400,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $70,500,000 for the same period in 2019. The 11.2% increase in net interest income for the period is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense as a result of falling interest rates. Prepayment penalties collected amounted to approximately $946,000 for the first nine months of 2020 compared to $18,000 for the same period last year. The net interest margin decreased from 2.08% on a fully

tax-equivalent

basis for the first nine months of 2019 to 2.01% for the same period in 2020. This was primarily the result of increased margin pressure during the recent decrease in interest rates across the yield curve.

The average balances of earning assets increased for the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period last year, by $609,000,000 or 12.3%, combined with an average yield decrease of 0.55%, resulting in a decrease in interest income of $6,200,000. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased for the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period last year, by $486,900,000 or 12.1%, combined with an average interest-bearing liabilities interest cost decrease of 0.59%, resulting in a decrease in interest expense of $14,100,000.

The trends in the net interest margin are illustrated in the graph below

Page 34 of 50

The margin remained relatively stable for the first three quarters of 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2018 and first and second quarters of 2019, the Company increased its average interest-bearing deposits and average earning assets. This increased net interest income but decreased the net interest margin. During the third quarter of 2019, the net interest margin increased mainly as a result of deposit rate decreases. These deposits increased net interest income and the net interest margin. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the net interest margin increased mainly as a result of prepayment penalties collected. Prepayment penalties collected amounted to $1.4 million and contributed approximately eleven basis points to the net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2019. The net interest margin decreased during the first quarter of 2020 mainly as a result of decreases in rates on earning assets. This was partially offset by prepayment penalties collected of $874,000 and contributed approximately seven basis points to the net interest margin. The net interest margin decreased during the second and third quarters of 2020 primarily the result of increased margin pressure during the recent decrease in interest rates across the yield curve. While management will continue its efforts to improve the net interest margin, there can be no assurance that certain factors beyond its control, such as the prepayment of loans and changes in market interest rates, will positively impact the net interest margin.

The provision for loan losses increased by $2,975,000 from $700,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $3,675,000 for the same period in 2020, primarily as a result of the economic uncertainties associated with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID–19) pandemic and increased loan balances, offset by decreases in historical loss rates. Refer to the allowance for loan loss section of the management discussion and analysis for additional discussion. Nonperforming assets totaled $1,400,000 at September 30, 2020, compared to $2,014,000 at December 31, 2019.

The Company’s effective tax rate increased from 2.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 9.5% for the same period in 2020. This was primarily as a result of an increase in taxable income relative to total income and a reduction in tax accruals, during 2019, related to sequestration of the refundable portion of our alternative minimum tax (AMT) credit carryforward. On January 14, 2019, the IRS updated its announcement “Effect of Sequestration on the Alternative Minimum Tax Credit for Corporations” to clarify that refundable AMT credits under Section 53(e) of the Internal Revenue Code are not subject to sequestration for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. As a result of the CARES Act, the full balance of the AMT credit was refunded during 2020.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company purchased the existing Brookline branch location that the Company was leasing. Also, during the third quarter of 2019, the Company purchased a future branch location in Salem, New Hampshire. The Company plans to open this branch during the first quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company executed a lease for a future branch location in Needham, Massachusetts. The Company plans to open this branch during the second quarter of 2021.

Impact of

COVID-19

During the first three quarters of 2020, the

COVID-19

pandemic caused economic turmoil for individuals and businesses throughout the country and, in particular, our market area. Many businesses were required to fully or partially shut down. Many businesses laid off and/or furloughed employees as a result. Unemployment has increased significantly, and GDP declined significantly. This may cause loan defaults in the future as customers are unable to make their contractual loan payments. The Company has increased its provision for loan losses in response to this increased risk. Future provision levels will be dependent upon the length of the economic disruption and the effectiveness of government programs to mitigate the economic impact of the shutdowns. The Company’s revenue has been and may continue to be negatively impacted as transaction fees have declined due to decreased volume.

In response to the pandemic, on March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act, among other things, provides cash payments to certain individuals and has various programs for businesses. In particular, it includes the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) which provides forgivable loans to qualified small businesses, primarily to allow these businesses to continue to pay their employees. The original amount allocated to the program was $349 billion, which was exhausted on April 16, 2020. On April 24, 2020, an additional allocation of $310 billion was signed into law. These loans are funded by participating banks and are 100% guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). If utilized primarily for payroll, subject to certain other conditions, the loans may be forgiven, in whole or in part, and repaid by the SBA. As of September 30, 2020, Century Bank’s PPP loans totaled approximately 1,324 loans for approximately $232 million. The fees collected, from the SBA, amount to approximately $8.0 million. The fees are being amortized over the lives of the loans utilizing the level-yield method.

The Company is considered an essential business based on criteria set by the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Despite being permitted to continue its operations throughout the pandemic due to its status as an essential business, the operations of the Company nevertheless have been affected as a result of remote work arrangements and the unavailability of employees from time to time. The Company may continue to be affected by a work stoppage, forced quarantine, or other interruption or the unavailability of key employees. While the effects of

COVID-19

are likely to have a

far-reaching,

long-lasting effect on the global, national, and Massachusetts, we believe we have sufficient capital and financial strength, as well as liquidity resources to mitigate the effects of the

COVID-19

pandemic on our operations and financial condition, while continuing to serve our communities and protect shareholder value.

Recent Market Developments

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the

“D-F

Act”) became law. The

D-F

Act was intended to address many issues arising in the recent financial crisis and is exceedingly broad in scope, affecting many aspects of bank and financial market regulation. The

D-F

Act requires, or permits by implementing regulation, enhanced prudential standards for banks and bank holding companies inclusive of capital, leverage, liquidity, concentration and exposure measures. In addition, traditional bank regulatory principles such as restrictions on transactions with affiliates and insiders were enhanced. The

D-F

Act also contains reforms of consumer mortgage lending practices and creates a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, which is granted broad authority over consumer financial practices of banks and others. It is expected as the specific new or incremental requirements applicable to the Company become effective that the costs and difficulties of remaining compliant with all such requirements will increase. The

D-F

Act broadened the base for FDIC assessments to average consolidated assets less tangible equity of financial institutions and also permanently raises the current standard maximum FDIC deposit insurance amount to $250,000. The Act extended unlimited deposit insurance on

non-interest-bearing

transaction accounts through December 31, 2012.

In addition, the

D-F

Act added a new Section 13 to the Bank Holding Company Act, the

so-called

“Volcker Rule,” (the “Rule”) which generally restricts certain banking entities such as the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates, from engaging in proprietary trading activities and owning equity in or sponsoring any private equity or hedge fund. The Rule became effective July 21, 2012. The final implementing regulations for the Rule were issued by various regulatory agencies in December 2013 and under an extended conformance regulation compliance was required to be achieved by July 21, 2015. The conformance period for investments in and relationships with certain “legacy covered funds” was extended to July 21, 2017. Under the Rule, the Company may be restricted from engaging in proprietary trading, investing in third party hedge or private equity funds or sponsoring new funds unless it qualifies for an exemption from the rule. The Company has little involvement in prohibited proprietary trading or investment activities in covered funds and the Company does not expect that complying with the requirements of the Rule will have any material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation. The federal banking agencies have issued amendments to the Rule to provide greater clarity and certainty about what activities are prohibited and to improve the effective allocation of compliance resources, and to conform the Rule to the EGRRCPA (discussed below). Effective October 1, 2020, further amendments to the Rule took effect, which modifies existing exemptions from the definition of covered fund, add new exclusions from the definition of covered fund and provide relief in other areas.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted, which represents the most comprehensive reform to the U.S. tax code in over thirty years. The majority of the provisions of the Tax Act took effect on January 1, 2018. The Tax Act lowered the Company’s federal tax rate from 34% to 21%. Also, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) has been repealed. For 2018 through 2021, the AMT credit carryforward can offset regular tax liability and is refundable in an amount equal to 50% (100% for 2021) of the excess of the minimum tax credit for the tax year over the amount of the credit allowable for the year against regular tax liability. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. As a result of the CARES Act, the full balance of the AMT credit was refunded during 2020. The Tax Act also contains other provisions that may affect the Company currently or in future years. Among these are changes to the deductibility of meals and entertainment, the deductibility of executive compensation, the dividend received deduction and net operating loss carryforwards. Tax Act changes for individuals include lower tax rates, mortgage interest and state and local tax limitations as well as an increase in the standard deduction, among others.

Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act

On May 24, 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, or the EGRRCPA, became law. This is arguably the most significant financial institution legislation since the

D-F

Act. The EGRRCPA changes certain of the regulatory requirements of the

D-F

Act and includes provisions intended to relieve the regulatory burden on “community banks.” Among other things, for qualifying community banks with less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, the EGRRCPA contains a safe harbor from the

D-F

Act “ability to repay” mortgage requirements, an exemption from the Volcker Rule, may permit filing of simplified Call Reports, and potentially will result in some alleviation of the

D-F

Act and U.S. Basel III capital mandates. The EGRRCPA requires the federal banking agencies to develop a community bank leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of tangible equity capital to average

Page 36 of 50

total consolidated assets) for banks and holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion and an appropriate risk profile. The required regulations must specify a minimum community bank leverage ratio of not less than 8% and not more than 10%. The federal banking agencies jointly issued a final rule, effective January 1, 2020, which would set the minimum ratio at 9%. Qualifying banks that exceed the minimum community bank leverage ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements including the capital ratio requirements that are required to be considered well capitalized under Section 38 of Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)

On March 18, 2020 the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) was signed into law and on March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The FFCRA and the CARES Act provide relief for families and businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The provisions in this legislation include, among other things, loan programs for businesses, expanded unemployment insurance benefits, stimulus payments to certain taxpayers, new provisions on sick leave and family leave, and funding for a variety of health-related efforts and government programs. The CARES Act also allowed a temporary deferral of FASB ASU

2016-13,

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The Company has elected to defer FASB ASU

2016-13.

Also, as a result of the CARES Act, the full balance of the AMT was refunded in 2020.

Recent Accounting Developments

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

In August 2018, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)

2018-15,

Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic

350-40):

Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain

internal-use

software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The effect of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU

2018-13,

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The effect of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU

2017-04,

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This ASU was issued to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. For public entities, this ASU is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and application should be on a prospective basis. The effect of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Adopted

The following list identifies ASUs applicable to the Company that have been issued by the FASB but are not yet effective:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU

2020-04,

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in the ASU are effective for a limited period and mainly address accounting and reporting challenges due to the transition from LIBOR on existing contracts. The optional expedients may be applied to loans, borrowings, leases and derivatives. The ASU simplifies the accounting analyses for contract modifications and simplifies the hedge effectiveness assessment and allows hedging relationships impacted by the LIBOR transition to continue. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is assessing the impact of this standard but does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or results of operations.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU

2019-12,

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,

beginning after December 15, 2020. The effect of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

Page 37 of 50

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU

2016-13,

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (CECL). This ASU was issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date.

To achieve this objective, the amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. See discussion below of the deferral of the amendments in this ASU.

To implement the new standard the Company has purchased a software solution and has captured the information needed to implement this ASU. As part of the FASB ASC 326 implementation process, the company is using two models: a rating migration model and a probability of default model. The ratings migration model, which will be used for our larger loans made to institutions with available credit ratings, is designed to estimate loss reserves according to the CECL standard for rated loans or similar instruments. The model structure follows a grade migration approach, where the default rate is based on the probability of each grade transition which is modelled using historical data. The probability of default model, which will be used for our remaining commercial loans and our consumer loans, is based primarily on four components: loss history, product lifecycle, behavioral attributes and the economic environment. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company tested the two CECL credit models in parallel with the existing incurred loss models. The securities

held-to-maturity

include U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, SBA Backed Securities and U.S. Government Agency and Sponsored Enterprise Mortgage-Backed Securities. The CECL standard allows assumption of zero expected credit losses where expectation of

non-payment

is zero for these types of securities. The Company expects no impact from ASU

2016-13

to arise from this portfolio.

Since ASU

2016-13,

the FASB has issued amendments intended on improving the clarification of the amendment, ASU

2018-19

Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses and ASU

2019-04

Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The amendment in ASU

2018-19

was issued in November 2018 and was intended to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic

326-20.

Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. The amendment in

ASU 2019-04

was issued in April 2019 and was intended to clarify stakeholders’ specific issues about certain aspects of the amendments in ASU

2016-13.

ASU

2019-05

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief was also issued in May 2019. This ASU provides entities the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized costs basis. The fair value option election does not apply to

held-to-maturity

debt securities. An entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently apply the guidance in Subtopics

820-10,

Fair Value Measurement—Overall. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings balance in the statement of financial position as of the date that an entity early adopted the amendments in

ASU 2016-13.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU

2019-11,

Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The amendments in this ASU affect a variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act allows certain companies to delay FASB ASU

2016-13,

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (CECL), including the current expected credit losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses. The Company has elected to delay FASB ASU

2016-13.

This ASU will be delayed until the earlier of the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID–19 outbreak declared by the President on March 15, 2020 terminates or December 31, 2020, with an effective retrospective implementation date of January 1, 2020. The effects of CECL will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position at January 1, 2020 upon retroactive adoption. The Company does not believe the impact of adoption would have been material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU

2018-14,

Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic

715-20):

Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The effect of this update will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

Financial Condition

Loans

On September 30, 2020, total loans outstanding were $2,990,133,000, up by $564,014,000 from the total on December 31, 2019. At September 30, 2020, commercial real estate loans accounted for 26.2%, commercial and industrial accounted for 44%, and residential real estate loans, including home equity loans, accounted for 24.4% of total loans.

Commercial and industrial loans increased to $1,315,407,000 at September 30, 2020 from $812,417,000 at December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of approximately $232,000,000 of SBA PPP loan balances and loan originations. Commercial real estate loans decreased to $784,895,000 from $786,102,000 on December 31, 2019 primarily as a result of loan payoffs. Construction loans increased to $9,116,000 at September 30, 2020 from $8,992,000 on December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of loan originations. Residential real estate loans increased to $443,703,000 on September 30, 2020 from $371,897,000 on December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of loan originations and loan purchases. Home equity loans decreased to $287,099,000 on September 30, 2020 from $304,363,000 at December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of a home equity loan payoffs. Municipal loans increased to $130,047,000 from $120,455,000, primarily as a result of loan originations.

In recent years, the Company has increased business to larger institutions, specifically, healthcare, higher education, and municipal organizations. Further discussion relating to changes in portfolio composition is provided in the allowance for loan loss section of the management discussion and analysis. We will closely monitor the concentrations to determine the impact of

COVID-19

upon their short-term and long-term operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan loss at September 30, 2020 was $33,394,000 as compared to $29,585,000 at December 31, 2019. The level of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.12% at September 30, 2020 and 1.22% at December 31, 2019. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding has decreased from December 31, 2019, primarily from approximately $232 million of PPP loans that are guaranteed by the SBA, which require no allowance for loan losses. The Company monitors the outlook for the industries in which our borrowers operate. Healthcare and higher education are two of the primary industries. In particular the Company utilizes outlooks and forecasts from various sources. The Company also monitors the volatility of the losses within the historical data.

By combining the credit rating, the industry outlook and the loss volatility, the Company arrives at the loss factor for each credit grade. For a large loan to large institutions with publicly available credit ratings, the Company tracks these ratings. These ratings are tracked as a credit quality indicator for these loans. Credit ratings issued by national organizations were utilized as credit quality indicators as presented in the following table at September 30, 2020.

Credit ratings issued by national organizations were utilized as credit quality indicators as presented in the following table at September 30, 2020 and are included within the total loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the amount needed for an adequate reserve to absorb losses in the existing loan portfolio. This amount is determined by an evaluation of the loan portfolio, including input from an independent organization engaged to review selected larger loans, a review of loan experience and current economic conditions. Although the allowance is allocated between categories, the entire allowance is available to absorb losses attributable to all loan categories.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	2020			2019			2020			2019
	(in thousands)
Allowance for loan losses, beginning of period	$	32,516		$	29,070		$	29,585		$	28,543
Loans charged off		(41	)		(118	)		(120	)		(336	)
Recoveries on loans previously charged-off		19			70			254			190
Net recoveries (charge-offs)		(22	)		(48	)		134			(146	)
Provision charged to expense		900			75			3,675			700
Allowance for loan losses, end of period	$	33,394		$	29,097		$	33,394		$	29,097

The Company may experience increased levels of nonaccrual loans if borrowers are negatively impacted by future negative economic conditions. Management continually monitors trends in the loan portfolio to determine the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. At the current time, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Nonperforming Assets

The following table sets forth information regarding nonperforming assets held by the Bank at the dates indicated:

	September 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
	(dollars in thousands)
Nonaccruing loans	$	1,419		$	2,014
Total nonperforming assets	$	1,419		$	2,014
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing	$	49		$	—
Nonaccruing loans as a percentage of total loans		0.05	%		0.08	%

Investments

Management continually evaluates its investment alternatives in order to properly manage the overall balance sheet mix. The timing of purchases, sales and reinvestments, if any, will be based on various factors including expectation of movements in market interest rates, deposit flows and loan demand. Notwithstanding these events, it is the intent of management to grow the earning asset base mainly through loan originations while funding this growth through a mix of retail deposits, FHLB advances, and retail repurchase agreements.

Securities

Available-for-Sale

(at Fair Value)

The securities

available-for-sale

portfolio totaled $291,632,000 at September 30, 2020, an increase of 12.0% from December 31, 2019. The portfolio increased mainly as a result of purchases of securities

available-for-sale

totaling $87,751,000. The purchases include $53,903,000 of securities that are obligations issued by States and Political Subdivisions. This was offset, somewhat by calls/maturities and scheduled principal payments of $57,493,000. The portfolio is concentrated in United States Government Sponsored Enterprises, Mortgage-backed Securities and Obligations issued by States and Political Subdivisions and had an estimated weighted average remaining life of 4.7 years.

At September 30, 2020, 83.3% of the Company’s securities

available-for-sale

are classified as Level 2. The fair values of these securities are generally obtained from a pricing service, which provides the Company with a description of the inputs generally utilized for each type of security. These inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads,

two-sided

markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. Market indicators and industry and economic events are also monitored.

Securities

available-for-sale

totaling $48,815,000 or 16.7% of securities

available-for-sale

are classified as Level 3. These securities are generally municipal securities with no observable fair value with an average life of one year or less. The securities are carried at cost which approximates fair value. A periodic review of underlying financial statements and credit ratings is performed to assess the appropriateness of these valuations.

During the first nine months of 2020, net unrealized gains on the securities

available-for-sale

increased to $192,000 from a net unrealized loss of $422,000 at December 31, 2019. This was primarily the result of a decrease in the value of floating rate securities.

The following table sets forth the fair value of securities

Securities

Held-to-Maturity

(at Amortized Cost)

The securities

held-to-maturity

portfolio totaled $2,407,176,000 on September 30, 2020, an increase of 2.4% from December 31, 2019. Purchases of

held-to-maturity

securities totaled $638,023,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The purchases were offset somewhat, by maturities and scheduled principal payments of $596,043,000. The portfolio is concentrated in United States Government Sponsored Enterprises and Mortgage-backed Securities and had an estimated weighted average remaining life of 3.6 years.

The following table sets forth the amortized cost of securities

held-to-maturity

at the dates indicated.

	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
	(in thousands)
U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises	$	248,211	$	98,867

Total Securities Held-to-Maturity	$	2,407,176	$	2,351,120

There were no sales of

held-to-maturity

securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The net unrealized gains on investment securities

held-to-maturity

was $77,771,000 or 3.2% of the total at September 30, 2020 and the net unrealized gains was $10,184,000 or 0.4% of the total at December 31, 2019. The increase in the net unrealized gains on securities

held-to-maturity

related primarily to a decrease in interest rates. The gross unrealized losses relate primarily to interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell any of these securities and it is not likely that it will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all mortgage-backed securities are obligations of U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises. Debt securities of Government Sponsored Enterprises primarily refer to debt securities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston Stock

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”), is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLBB. Based on redemption provisions, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. At its discretion, the FHLBB may declare dividends on the stock. The Company reviews this investment for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the stock. During the first nine months of 2020, the FHLBB redeemed $10,836,000 of FHLBB stock and the Company purchased $4,726,000 of FHLBB stock. As of September 30, 2020, there have been no indicators of impairment that would require further consideration of potential impairment.

Equity Securities

At September 30, 2020 equity securities totaled $1,645,000 compared to $1,688,000 at December 31, 2019, this was primarily the result of changes in fair values.

Deposits and Borrowed Funds

On September 30, 2020, deposits totaled $5,412,471,000 representing a 23.0% increase from December 31, 2019. Total deposits increased primarily as a result of an increase in savings and NOW deposits, demand deposits, money market accounts, and time deposits. These types of deposits increased primarily from an increased customer base. Savings and NOW deposits increased mainly as a result of an increase in municipal NOW accounts, and corporate savings accounts. Demand deposits increased mainly as a result of increased corporate checking balances as a result of PPP loan proceed deposits. Money market accounts increased mainly as a result of an increase in corporate money market accounts. Time deposits increased primarily as a result of increased personal, corporate and municipal time deposits.

Borrowed funds totaled $383,278,000 at September 30, 2020 compared to $637,000,000 at December 31, 2019. Borrowed funds decreased mainly as a result of a decrease in borrowings from the FHLBB and a decrease in repurchase agreements. FHLBB borrowings decreased mainly as a result of an increase in deposits. Repurchase agreements decreased primarily as a result of short-term customer activity.

Stockholders’ Equity

At September 30, 2020, total equity was $363,434,000 compared to $332,581,000 on December 31, 2019. The Company’s equity increased primarily as a result of earnings, offset, somewhat, by dividends paid. The Company’s leverage ratio stood at 6.79% on September 30, 2020, compared to 7.25% at December 31, 2019. The decrease in the leverage ratio was due to an increase in quarterly average assets, offset somewhat by an increase in stockholders’ equity. Book value as of September 30, 2020, was $65.27 as compared to $59.73 on December 31, 2019.

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $28,985,000 compared to $26,069,000 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $2,916,000 or 11.2%. The increase in net interest income for the period is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense as a result of falling interest rates. The net interest margin decreased from 2.08% on a fully

tax-equivalent

basis for the third quarter of 2019 to 1.96% for the same period in 2020. This was primarily the result of increased margin pressure during the recent decrease in interest rates across the yield curve. The average balances of earning assets increased by $910,029,000 or 18.3%, combined with an average yield decrease of 0.79%, resulting in a decrease in interest income of $3,993,000 on a fully

tax-equivalent

basis. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $711,749,000 or 17.7%, combined with an average interest-bearing liabilities interest cost decrease of 0.82%, resulting in a decrease in interest expense of $6,909,000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $83,908,000 compared to $77,333,000 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $6,575,000 or 8.5%. The increase in net interest income for the period is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense as a result of falling interest rates. Prepayment penalties collected amounted to approximately $946,000 for the first nine months of 2020 compared to $18,000 for the same period last year. The net interest margin decreased from 2.08% on a fully

tax-equivalent

basis for the first nine months of 2019 to 2.01% for the same period in 2020. This was primarily the result of increased margin pressure during the recent decrease in interest rates across the yield curve. The average balances of earning assets increased by $609,039,000 or 12.3%, combined with an average yield decrease of 0.55%, resulting in a decrease in interest income of $7,519,000 on a fully

tax-equivalent

basis. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $486,856,000 million or 12.1%, combined with an average interest-bearing liabilities interest cost decrease of 0.59%, resulting in a decrease in interest expense of $14,094,000.

Page 45 of 50

As illustrated in the table above, the main contributors to the increase in net interest income for the three and nine-month periods were a decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. The Company has decreased interest rates on these products as market rates have decreased. Securities

held-to-maturity

income increased, for the nine-month period, primarily as a result of an increase in volume. Securities

available-for-sale,

interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and loan income decreased primarily from a decrease in rates paid on the portfolios. The Company has a sizable floating rate

available-for-sale

and loan portfolio. These portfolios reprice as interest rates rise or fall.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased by $2,975,000 from $700,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $3,675,000 for the same period in 2020, primarily as a result of the economic uncertainties associated with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID–19) pandemic and increased loan balances. Further discussion relating to changes in portfolio composition is discussed in Note 4.

Non-Interest

Income and Expense

Other operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $117,000 from the same period last year to $4,169,000. This was mainly attributable to a decrease in other income of $52,000, a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of $71,000, and a decrease from net gains on sales of securities of $53,000. This was offset, somewhat, by an increase of $59,000 in lockbox fees. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased mainly as a result of a decrease in customer activity due in large part to the

COVID-19

pandemic. Other income decreased mainly as a result of a decrease in loan servicing fees. Lockbox fees increased mainly as a result of increased customer activity. Also, there were no loan sales during the third quarters of 2020 and 2019.

Other operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $1,190,000 from the same period last year to $12,520,000. This was mainly attributable to a decrease in other income of $564,000, a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of $243,000, a decrease in gains on sales of loans of $154,000, a decrease in lockbox fees of $168,000, and a decrease from net gains on sales of securities of $53,000. Service charges on deposit accounts and lockbox income decreased as a result of a decrease in customer activity due in large part to the

COVID-19

pandemic. Other income decreased mainly as a result of a decrease in loan servicing fees and a decrease in merchant sales royalties offset, somewhat, by increases on the returns of life insurance policies.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, operating expenses increased by $705,000 or 4.0% to $18,167,000, from the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $692,000, an increase of $410,000 in FDIC assessments, and an increase of $14,000 in occupancy costs. This was offset, somewhat, by decreases in equipment expenses of $53,000 and a decrease in other expenses of $358,000. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was mainly attributable to merit increases and other employee benefits. The increase in FDIC assessments was attributable to credits applied during the third quarter of 2019. The increase in occupancy costs was mainly attributable to an increase in depreciation. Other expenses decreased mainly as a result of decreases in marketing expenses. Equipment expense decreased mainly from a decrease in depreciation expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, operating expenses decreased by $535,000 or 1.0% to $53,382,000, from the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to decreases in other expenses of $861,000, occupancy costs $238,000, and FDIC expenses of $3,000. This was offset, somewhat, by increases in salaries and employee benefits of $399,000 and equipment expenses of $168,000. Other expenses decreased mainly as a result of decreases in consultants’ expense, marketing expenses, and other real estate owned expenses, offset, somewhat, by increases in security costs. The decrease in occupancy costs was mainly attributable to a decrease in rent expense associated with the purchases of a previously leased branch. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was mainly attributable to deferred origination costs associated with originating the SBA PPP loans during the second quarter of 2020. This was offset, somewhat, by merit increases and an increase in pension costs. Equipment expense increased mainly from an increase in depreciation expense.

Income Taxes

For the third quarter of 2020, the Company’s income tax expense totaled $1,546,000 on pretax income of $12,433,000 resulting in an effective tax rate of 12.4%. For last year’s corresponding quarter, the Company’s income tax expense totaled $435,000 on pretax income of $10,519,000 resulting in an effective tax rate of 4.1%. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in taxable income relative to total income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company’s effective tax rate increased to 9.5% from 2.0% for the same period in 2019. This was primarily as a result of an increase in taxable income relative to total income and a reduction in tax accruals, during 2019, related to sequestration of the refundable portion of our alternative minimum tax (AMT) credit carryforward. On January 14, 2019, the IRS updated its announcement “Effect of Sequestration on the Alternative Minimum Tax Credit for Corporations” to clarify that refundable AMT credits under Section 53(e) of the Internal Revenue Code are not subject to sequestration for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. As a result of the CARES Act, the full balance of the AMT credit was refunded in 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. The Company’s profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial increase or decrease in interest rates may adversely impact the Company’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates tied to specific assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Company monitors the impact of changes in interest rates on its net interest income using several tools. The Company’s primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and capital, while structuring the Company’s asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. Management believes that there has been no material changes in the interest rate risk reported in the Company’s Annual Report on

Form 10-K

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information is contained in the

Form 10-K

within the Market Risk and Asset Liability Management section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, with participation of its principal executive and financial officers, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. The disclosure controls and procedures also effectively ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings and submissions with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is accumulated and reported to Company management (including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company has evaluated its internal control over financial reporting and during the first nine months of 2020 there were no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Other Information

Item 1 A number of legal claims against the Company arising in the normal course of business were outstanding at September 30, 2020. Management, after reviewing these claims with legal counsel, is of the opinion that their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A Risk Factors – Please read “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes since this 10-K was filed. These risks are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

As a result of the

COVID-19

pandemic, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation have been and may continue to be, negatively impacted. In light of the ongoing and unprecedented nature of the pandemic, it is difficult to predict its full impact on our business. Future developments, including governmental legislation and other actions, when

COVID-19

can be controlled, and when the economy may be reopened, are highly uncertain. We anticipate the

Covid-19

recession may have adverse effects on our operating results for the year ending December 31, 2020 and possibly beyond.

The following have or may occur:

• a decline in the demand for products and services may occur due to, among other things, adverse financial impacts of the pandemic on customers, increased unemployment and temporary or permanent closures of businesses;

• deposits could decline if customers need to draw on available balances as a result of the economic downturn;

• an increase in loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures due to, among other things, adverse financial impacts of the pandemic on customers;

• a decline in collateral value;

• a work stoppage, forced quarantine, or other interruption or the unavailability of key employees has occurred in various areas of the Company and may continue to occur;

• the unavailability of critical services provided by third party vendors or limitations on the business capacities of our vendors for extended periods of time;

• a decline of the yield on our assets to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities as the result of the reduction of the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income;

• potential losses in our investment securities portfolio due to volatility in the financial markets;

• increased cybersecurity risks and a potential loss of productivity in connection with remote work arrangements;

• an increase in the allowance for loan losses has occurred and may continue to occur to accommodate potential increased loan defaults.
